The recent heatwave tempted us into a trip to the seaside so we booked
three nights in Torquay.
The number 12 bus runs from Newton Abbot, through Torquay and Paignton
to Brixham. It's only a short run and the bus pass is accepted so it's an
ideal way to get around with no parking problems.
Paignton bus station is across the road from the train station, which
is next to the "steam" train station and it's a short walk from there, over
the level crossing to the beach and the pier.
Quite coincidentally, Wetherspoon has a very nice pub down that road too,
(The Talk Of The Town) very handy for a morning coffee and evening lunch.
The last stop on the bus route is Brixham which is always worth a visit.
The harbour area offers a short but very attractive stroll with a great assortment
shops providing ice cream, fish & chips, pastries etc., all the usual seaside goodies.
Brixham also has a very nice Wetherspoons pub, The Vigilance.
